Raffles

About This Movie

Raffles (1985) dives into a wild night at a male strip club, where chaos and comedy unfold as the girls let loose. The tone is playful, with a mix of raunchy humor and over-the-top antics that sometimes veer into absurdity. It's not just about the dance numbers; there's a certain carefree spirit that permeates the film, making it a curious artifact of its time. The performances are a blend of earnestness and camp, which gives it a unique charm. And while the practical effects are minimal, the atmosphere is kept lively with a thumping soundtrack that showcases the era’s vibe.

Raffles has had a bit of a mixed history on the home video front, with various formats released but none particularly abundant. The scarcity of some versions makes it a conversation starter among collectors, though it's not a title many would readily seek out. Interest tends to peak around its campy humor and nostalgic charm, appealing to those who appreciate 80s cult films and the quirky subgenres of that era.
